NATALIE“ Now we only have to make sure there is no evidence, no witness and there is nothing they can use— ”Pacing around anxiously in our room, I gasp when I hit Ryker’s body. He catches me, his hands holding onto my upper arms to steady me.“ Calm down. Stress is not good for your health. ” He whispers.I pick my head, staring at him with my complaining eyes. “ How can I calm down right now? Did you really think it was necessary to shift the focus on you and get me on the council? ”Ryker throws me a tight-lipped, unsure smile. “ It was the best way. ” “ You used yourself as bait. ” I shake my head and step back.Ryker’s hands fall from my arms, allowing me to step back until my aching back is resting against the wall. “ Don’t worry, Babylove. There is no one testifying against me. They have no way to prove me a hybrid. Once you get on the council, the trial will only be a formality. We will know who did what and this war will end before starting. ” Ryker sighs, trying to convin

ANNE Something is going on. Zero is not in the pack. He left last night when I was fucking sleeping.I woke up today to find him gone and council puppets swarming the place. They searched the whole pack house, without the Alpha’s permission and no one from this Goddess damned pack objected. They all dislike Zero, it seems. Not that I care but still, there should be some rules even when it comes to being evil. “ Where is the Alpha? ” The old man, one of the werewolves who works under the originals to maintain the council’s order in the werewolf community asks for the fourth time.“ I don’t know. ” I shrug my shoulders, giving him the same answer.For some reason, he doesn’t believe me and has me tied to a chair in the dungeons, about to torture the unknown answer out of me.Now you know why I am so salty about it. “ Let me ask for the last— ”“ Fuck you! ” I cut him off, smiling sweetly at him while I twist my hands to get out of the silver chains holding me down.Uh yes. I can sme

RYKER “ So they took control of the North Forest Pack? ” I sigh, stealing a glance at Anne who is glaring at me for some reason. “ Of course. The Alpha was not there to stop them so they took control of everything. ” She hisses, answering me instead of Zio. “ Go get treated at the infirmary. ” I dismiss her. Her squinted eyes return to their original almond shape as she takes in a deep breath. Blood is dripping down her finger, her burned wrists, ankles but it doesn’t seem to be affecting her. “ Let me know if there is anything you need from me. ” She states before leaving me alone with Zio in the office. When the door closes, I turn to face Zio. “ Why did you go there? ” “ Luna asked me to bring her. ” He says as a matter of fact. “ I, too, asked you to call fucking Rhianna over here. Did you do it? ” I snap at him. “ Her phone was switched off. The people following her said she was at home so I sent someone to bring her. ” He whispers, the tension between us growing. I rub

RYKER“ Alpha. ” Zio tries to grab my shoulders and get me off Fredrick, whose face is now bloody, his jaw and nose dislocated.I lift my fist again, hitting him straight in his face, his eyes bashing in, the flesh tearing off. I can see his smashed bones now and it’s still not soothing, not nearly enough.“ Ryker. ” Natalie gasps from somewhere behind and finally, I find myself coming back to my senses.Dropping the asshole on the floor, I wipe my blood-stained hands on my jeans and turn around to face her.She is not looking at me. Her wide eyes are fixed on Fredrick. He is not conscious. I am sure his neck snapped. He won’t die though. Unless I get his head off his shoulders and burn all his filthy body down, he will come back to life. Fucking Goddess gave originals, vampire-like powers. The gift of immortality.“ What did you do? ” She rushes forward, pushing past me angrily and crouching down near the bastard.“ He is alive. ” I hiss, my eyes landing on Zio. He has placed Rhiann

NATALIE “ Inform everyone. They are not allowed to roam around this part of the pack for tonight. ” Ryker commands Zio who has worry clouding his eyes.“ Are you sure this is what we are going to do Alpha? ” Zio questions, not fond of our idea.“ Do what I am saying. ” Ryker hisses, the cold anger radiating off him and darkening the whole living room.Zio nods his head but doesn’t reply. Turning around, he marches out of Ryker’s house, telling Jake off. No one means—No one will be around tonight.My eyes move towards Fredrick, who is lying unconscious on the couch. His wounds have healed. Only the dried up blood and torn clothes give away the truth.I swallow the bile in my throat and face Ryker again.“ I won’t be of any help when they arrive. ” I tell him, worried that Ryker and Zio alone are not enough to fight all the originals, if they choose to fight. “ Make sure to take cover and protect our child. That will be all. Enough on your part. ” His tone is harsh but I know he doesn

NATALIEThe situation escalates fast as Fredrick lets out a war cry and lands the first jaw-breaking hit on Abraham. My heart leaps to my throat as I watch them in complete shock.One after another, Fredrick manages to punch Abraham. The floor beneath their feet trembles before some kind of metal start erupting from it.I can’t understand what’s happening. The metal blocks move, shaping into daggers before shooting toward Fredrick.‘ Get down. ’ Ryker yells in my head.But I am too shocked and confused to do what he is saying. Everyone goes still and the metal does too. I breathe in, watching the razor-sharp metal daggers with my wide, rounded eyes.Suddenly, the metal shoots towards Fredrick, me, and everyone else in the living room all at once.I fail to get my body to move. Ryker throws himself over me, getting me down on the floor instantly. My breath gets knocked out of me as my back fits the hard surface. Pain sears through my spine at the impact.Ryker doesn’t waste a moment i

NATALIE“ Put his head down. ” The twins shift and hiss at the intruder, Zero.His eyes are black, void of any white, like those of ghouls, vampires. He holds Abraham’s head between his hands, and everyone can’t help but cautiously watch him.An original can’t die unless their body is burned and gotten rid of. I know, the twins know until he has his head in the palms of his hands, Abraham can survive.“ Zero. ” Ryker calls out to him, his tone dark and dangerous.Zero glances at his friend before his eyes avert to the fire, burning close to me. My breath catches in my throat when he throws the bleeding head right into the fire. Something explodes before fire consumes Abraham’s head.The twins shriek, lunging for the head but not reaching it in time. Horror paints my face and makes my insides twist. I have never seen something sinister like this. The thing which scares me the most is the lack of any emotion on Zero’s face.We all get busy looking at Abraham’s ablaze head, his skin chip
Chapter 145
RYKERThe situation took a 180-degree turn. Zero was not supposed to show up. Yet he did and caught me off guard.I always knew he will go mad after seeing those Originals and I always kept him away from them. Those assholes executed his mother, put him in a coffin, and buried him underground for centuries, alive and breathing. Brutally, they cursed a child and made him face the horrors no one should ever go through.I understand why he lost his mind and went after them. Even in that state of mind, he never once attacked me but kept leaping for the Originals, as if he was desperate, dying to kill them right away.During all this, I was too distracted to notice what was wrong with Natalie. She was in pain, bleeding, and on the verge of losing the only thing which matters to us the most these days—our child.“ She will be fine, Alpha. ” Luciana whispers from behind me in a careful tone.I brought Natalie to the infirmary. She fainted after seeing Anne getting hit. Her blood count is as
